Food Fashion and Fun Part 2

 

After lunch we spontaneously decided to go to this other exhibit that was in a private villa that had been opened to the public. It was an exhibit of advertisements that were inspired by or created by Futurists. They were so beautiful and poignant and creative and classic and innovative all at the same time. It totally reminded me of my grandpa. After that, the rest of the class returned to Firenze and my suitemate, Seta, and I remained a Roma. We checked into our hotel and went out to dinner by the Trevi fountain at a restaurant called Arancia (or something like that). Great fish, great wine, great dessert. To be 100% honest, this past weekend of food has completely clouded my food memory...but we'll get to that! 

The next day we went to the Pantheon and some other places. Most importantly I had INCREDIBLE granita di caffe. For lunch we went to this tiny spot near Piazza Navona and had wine and cheese and olives...for about three hours. We then went to this little store where everything is made my monks, and its been there, FOREVER. Very cute. I may have bought a leather purse..or two.... Then we went to the Jewish section and I want to go into the Sinogoga but it was closed :(. So we went housewares shopping. 

For dinner we trekked around try and find a restaurant called La Peonia, but it was closed, so we veered off and wandered until we stumbled upon another restaurant that had been recomended to me. The food was AMAZING. I have never had Rigatoni matriciana like that. Perfectly cooked, perfectly peppered.
